Mumbai metro is a rapid transit system serving the city of mumbai,
maharashtra, and the wider mmr urban agglomeration.The system is
designed to reducetraffic congestion in the city, and supplement the
overcrowded mumbai suburban railway (colloquially called local
trains) network.It is being built in three phases over a 15-year period,
with overall completion expected in 2025. When completed, the core
system will comprise eight high-capacity metro railway lines, spanning
a total of 235 kilometres (146 mi) (24% underground,the rest
elevated, with a minuscule portion built at-grade),and serviced by 200
stations.
Line 1 of the mumbai metro system is operated by metro one
operation private limited (moopl), a joint venture company formed
between ratp dev transdev asia (a 50:50 ratp développementand
transdev joint venture) (70%) and reliance infrastructure(30%).[5]
while lines 2, 7 (under construction) and 4 (bidding in progress) will be
built by mmrda, the completely underground line 3 (also under
construction) will be built by mumbai metro railway corporation
limited (mmrcl). The total financial outlay for the expansion of the
metro system beyond the currentlyoperationalline 1 is ₹821.72 billion
(us$11.96 billion or €10.24 billion), to be funded through a mix of
equity and bilateral, multilateral as well as syndicated debt.
In June 2006, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh laid the foundation
stone for the first phase of the Mumbai Metro project, although
construction work began in February2008.[7][8][9] A successful trial
run was conducted in May 2013,[10][11][12] and the system's first line
entered into operation on 8 June 2014. Many metro projects were
being delayed because opposition by political parties, late
environmentalclearances and land acquisition troubles. The proposed
